I'm using 35 GB on my phone. Honest question, what does everyone use all this storage for? Leaving photos locally makes me worried that losing the phone, loses the photos. Music, 4k video, or something else?
Fills up real fast if you take videos with your phone. 4K60 video gets big really fast.
With unlimited photo uploads stopping in June what service are people planning to use for backups?
Need a slick deal on backup storage as the size will only keep increasing.
Upload to my plex, where it will land on my DrivePool based datahoarder setup with the photos set to triplex redundancy, from where it will be backed up to BackBlaze.

Serious. Plex is a home media server that you can use to organize a collection of ripped media (eg, DVDs, blu-rays, etc.); it's essentially like running Netflix or Prime Video on your own server (and the phone app supports automatic uploads of camera pics/vids to the server). DrivePool lets you take a bunch of drives and present them to the system as one big drive with redundancy (but it's not RAID), and there's an entire reddit dedicated to data hoarding and the best ways to do it. I currently have 24TBs in my media center provide ~10TB of useful capacity after the various levels of duplication that I've set.
Edit: I guess they do have it open box in "fair" condition if you can find it, though it's OOS by me. (I was just wondering what the going rate was for these; up in the air between this and a OP8.)

But, isn't your setting all basically local drives? (pooled with redundancy, but still all local)
If there is a fire, won't you lose it all without any good cloud backup solution?
